"Powdered drink mixes that are widely promoted as “toddler milks” for older babies and children up to age 3 are unregulated, unnecessary and “nutritionally incomplete,” the American Academy of Pediatrics warned Friday.
The drinks...often contain added sugar and salt. The manufacturers make unproven claims that the drinks boost kids’ brains or immune systems..."
Okay shot in the dark but.........calling on the Fediverse - tell me what foods are good natural antihistamines. I need help. I was thinking maybe I could address some of my long covid woes through a diet change.
Your diet plays an important role in getting a peaceful and deep night’s sleep.
There are foods we should avoid in the evening if we are looking to improve our sleeping habits, like:
Just listened to a great episode of BBC R4’s The Food Programme, all about eating for brain health: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001p6yx BUT the one thing they didn’t mention, among all the focus on how essential omega-3 fatty acids are, is that you don’t need to eat seafood to get them. Fish/shellfish don’t make omega-3s themselves - they get them from their own diet. We can too, via marine algae supplements. So no fish have to be harmed in the name of brain health. #diet#fish
I was frantically searching for the effect of fly food on behaviour and came across Katrin's (@katvogt) ResearchGate comments reminding me this paper from Heisenberg lab in the 90s: https://learnmem.cshlp.org/content/3/1/49
Describing an effect of #diet on visually guided learning in #drosophila
"Most important, poor nutrition causes complete amnesia within three or four generations. The reverse shift from poor to nutritious food restores learning ability with an even longer delay."
This is extremely good write-up of the most recent science of the meat-eating-large-brain-hypothesis, and the current situation regarding our dietary choices in reflection of that.
"From January through November of this year, America’s Poison Centers reported almost 3,000 calls involving semaglutide, an increase of more than 1,500% since 2019.
"And most of the calls were related to dosage errors: 'Often times, it’s a person who maybe accidentally took a double dose or took the wrong dose,' Dr. Kait Brown, clinical managing director of the association, told CNN."
In a typical supermarket, one dollar could buy 1200 calories of potato chips and cookies. The same dollar could only buy 250 calories of carrots and other whole vegetables. On the beverage aisle, you can buy 875 calories of soda for a dollar, but a dollar will only buy you 170 calories of fruit juice from concentrate. These numbers show why people with limited money to spend on food spend it on the cheapest calories.
We don’t need the sweet stuff in our diet, sugar isn’t a food, it isn’t even a nutrient & artificial sweeteners are just that - artificial. We don’t need it - but people eat & drink so much of it that they crave it, they’re addicted, just like a drug. The only people that benefit are those that make it all, not the consumer.
Just Eat Real Food! You can get all the sweetness the body needs from real food. Break the addiction! #Food#Diet#ToxicSugar#ToxicSweeteners
Artificial sweetener could harm your gut and its microbes
In this review of nearly 50 studies, researchers found that vegetarian diets were associated with lower risk of heart disease and cancer, better lipid profiles and improved blood sugar control.
The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet comes with promises of weight loss, but a new study says it also has some serious health risks. In mice, a keto diet increases the buildup of zombie-like cells in the heart, kidneys, lungs and brain, which can accelerate organ aging and other health problems.
